Top 10 Fusion Evolutions 

Neos wingman is it's counterpart. Two fusions of two ace monsters of jaden and aster.

And yet Hero players are still (probably) waiting on a Hero boss monster with a negate.

@@thatman666 yes, buuut plasma also has a negate, sometimes ya just pull out the old plasma and its satisfying

what's that based on?

​@Hikari Joga It is a bit hard to bring out since it requires 2 Masked HERO monsters, which is 2 copies of Mask Change and 2 HERO monsters. That amount of resources is a bit too expensive and doesn't worth that much

Dark *is* a weaker Colossus, it's why Colossus has the tribute effect to summon itself off 1 Thunder. Also their OCG names, Dark is Bolt Thunder Dragon, and Colossus is Superbolt. It's pretty clear, big ball drop on his part.

all the thunder dragons came out in the very same set.

@@Hjortur95 I know, but the original green one came out way earlier, and I was referring to titan's design being a reference to the original thunder dragon's effect

@@AzzyRealmaybe one day we'll get a super version fusion monster of hawk and roar too

@@Kagu-fx1un considering those are my favorite 2 design wise of the main deck Thundras, say less. Biggest crime Konami committed against the deck was giving them additional Support in a boss monster and then making it a main deck. I *hate* Thunder Dragon Lord because it would be an amazing card if not for the simple fact it's not an ED monster.

I think they are pivoting towards more of a synchro focus in 2023 if Duelist Nexus is any clue

The last two sets have been XYZ and Synchro focused tho, with some links

It's because Fusion (normally) needs more setup than later methods. A spell and the required monsters, rather than just the monsters on the field.

Yes, but it doesn't use the original XYZ machines. Might share the spirit of XYZ Dragon Cannon, but it's not an evolution since it uses its own monsters.

The original XYZ Dragon catapult cannon's true fusion evolution is VWXYZ. Sorry not sorry

And the final form is A-Z dragon cannon

​@@azuredragoon2054 The evolutions of number 1 and 2 are literally non-fusion effect monsters. I think the my example of using 2 monsters that essentially have the same motif only one is a lot better being just as functional.

@@IC-23 What matters is that the Fusion Monster is an evolution of an existing card. There's enough proof of this with Relinquished, Winda and Dark Magician all being cited as "origin" cards. ABC is clearly its own monster with its own materials. So it would not fit this list even though it clearly keeps the spirit of XYZ Dragon Cannon.

They were since OCG 1999. Fusions and Ritual back then were after thoughts. Konami's idea of balancing special summoning beaters was forcing conditions. Ritual being the worst mechanic. During GX they gave support to fusions. However they were so salty that no one was fusion summoning with Polymerization. They started adding fusion clause and fusion material clause to force you to fusion summon or fuse using exactlt those listed materials. Which of course no one tolerated and Konami finally pulled their head out their asses and started making actual good fusions

Ritual are more useless

@SoukenmaruFWT yea it's so weird seeing how rare special summoning was back then, some if the cost to do it was insane

It took until literally Shaddoll for them to be authentic and strong. Before that it was magical scientist or bust. Shaddoll is one of the most important deck in the history of the game when it comes to design space.

To be fair, special summoning *period* was super rare at first and Konami had no idea how to balance it. Though seeing the passive progression of them learning to balance Fusions and Rituals is really interesting: 1. DM era- Fusions and Rituals existed but were, lets be honest, fucking useless with a handfull of exceptions like Relinquished which is decent even today. 2. GX era- Fusions are the new "main mechanic" , both they and Rituals actually start getting proper effects and beefier stats. But suffer from needing to use overly specific material and/or needing to have the materials in the hand or on field But then they slowly transition into Contact Fusions , giving Fusions much better effects and while the Neo Spacians, the prototypes, are kind of a bust they pave the way for Gladiator Beasts which tore the meta a new arsehole. 3. 5Ds and Zexal eras - lumping these together and skipping over them a bit because ,while they both originated from the original idea of Contact Fusing, everyone has their own opinions on Synchros and XYZs and I'm not interested in starting a flame war. (We have Eldlich floodgate players for that). Plus, Fusions and Rituals kind of take a back seat in favor of the new mechanics. 4. Arc V - Despite pendulums not being recieved very well, this did mark the point where Konami went back and gave back some focus to the other summoning mechanics. Both Rituals and Fusions got plenty of generic support, they needed way less specific material and even started using materials from the GY or even the opponent's field consistently. V-Rains era- Links were massively more succesfull (for better and for worse) but it was much od the same as for the Pendulum era. The new mechanic was at the forefront, but the older summoning mechanics got a *ton* of love. Fusions in particular started slowly becoming absolutely *CRACKED* with stuff like Shaddolls, Tearlaments etc. Hell, Fusions are probably the best they've ever been right now and , alongside Links, are arguibly the most popular summoning mechanic. Rituals, while in a worse spot, have also come a LONG way from where they began with them taking advantage of inherited effects, generic support and Konami giving them more leeway on their restrictions (usually) due to the costly nature of ritual summoning.

Og is cool for zubaba general otk

The ishizu cards gonna be top 1 for sure 🤣

"I know for sure Gate Guardians Combined is a LOT better than the OG by a huge mile." Not saying much. lol

@@tikigdydm8498 Who would run a giant brick just to make a beatstick into a bigger beatstick?

To be fair, saying the retrain is better than the original in this case is like saying that drinking water is better for you than drinking terpentine. Its an understatement OG Gate Guardian was the *poster boy* of disappointing boss monsters. You bring out 3 beatsticks, hope they all stay on the field and you have GG in hand and you bring out an *even bigger* beatstick that dies if your opponent *breathes* on it XD Meanwhile the retrains are an actual functional and fun strategy with the ability to make some genuinely formidable boards.

Dark Scorpion Burglars

@@enlongjones2394 Feels kinda weird that Burglars came earlier than individual Dark Scorpion bandits(minus Zaloog being on the same pack)

A bit late, but Penguin Brave.

Most XYZ probably are chaos numbers, probably

iconic sentence

Jacking off to make Scar-red nova dragon

Ahem... Colorless when Konami? WHEN?

Hahaha now colorless will be a real card

​@angelnaranjo6546 Unfortunately Colorless kinda sucks. Shame too because I really like his design

I was hoping for Starving Venom. Although I think it's one of the cards he doesn't talk about anymore cause it could be on so many lists.

It could maybe special summon back one of it's materials to equip itself to it too!

@@nyx2889 and give a construct destruction effect.

I had to pause the video and look up sargas because I was so confused. Thought I might have missed something lol

Same with eldlich

Striker Dragon
